DEVELOPING STORY: Sources Say Roethlisberger Will Not Face Charges, DA Still Silent

((HT: ESPN-Naqi))

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger will not be charged after an investigation into accusations of sexual assault by a 20-year-old woman in Milledgeville, Georgia sources told ESPN's Kelly Naqi.

District Attorney Fred Bright will announce on Monday that charges will not be brought, but Bright did say in a statement he has reviewed all the investigation reports and will hold a news conference at 2PM Monday afternoon.

Milledgeville police Chief Woodrow Blue said Wednesday his department and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation had wrapped up their investigation.

PM UPDATE: Sources close to the investigation told OSG Sports Friday evening that if anyone told Naqi that no charges would be filed, that word most likely would not and did not come from the DA's office in this case.

District Attorney Bright has not spoken to anyone publicly or privately about the Roethlisberger case to any degree. Bright is still holding off addressing the matter until his Monday press conference.
